As above. One set is supposedly always in for refurbishment and to keep the service at the same level they have leased a couple of powercars from EMT.
Set EC64 (which I believe is just coming out of refurb in the next few days) was originally a full EMT set but with the guard vehicle (TGS) that was formed of low back EMT style seating on one side and high backed seating (FGW) on the other. Even had the moquettes of both companies on!
